Apple announced on Monday that the iPhone will deliver higher talk
time than originally expected. The iPhone will feature up to 8 hours of
talk time giving it the highest battery life of any other competing
phone.

Apple's new phone will also deliver 6 hours of Internet use, 7 hours of video
playback or 24 hours of audio playback. The iPhone will also feature 250
hour—more than 10 days—of standby time.

The company also upgraded the screen on the phone from plastic to
optical-quality glass. The new upgrade gives the phone a
scratch-resistant screen and better visibility.

“There has never been a phone like iPhone, and we can't wait to get this truly
magical product into the hands of customers starting just 11 days from today,” said
Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.

Thinking about what you were saying, I have to say: I would be more likely to buy this phone with words like this used to sell it.??. Call me a dumb ass if you will, but it makes me think there could be such a huge step in technology that "Truly Magical" would be the only way to describe it? Not to say I would not suffer buyers remorse afterward, but isn't Truly magical a good description of the very best gadgets?...The first video game, PONG and the very first Cell phones come to mind....

Well, if you want to listen to one, very biased, man's opinion, then go ahead. But until third parties are saying those things, I'm no more likely to buy a given product than I am to start flying like Neo. :P
